How about a DHT [Dual Heavy Turret] in game? Limit 1 per vessel!

Since the Heavy Turret is pretty much a flop IMO!!!

Sounds like something they could shove in the R&D Cannons tab, or future rep weapon..
No to one per ship.
I want more weapon categories, I thought heavy turrets would become a thing but they ruined that with the limit.
Saying that though they need to make single cannons more useful before adding weapons.

Also would also love to see a lance-style beam weapon sub-catagory added to the beam catagory, which would be along the lines of a high-burst damage weapon. which would have a single or double shot firing cycle making it a big time burst weapon (such as having two beam firings on a eight second firing cycle) compared to the beam arrays an banks.
Exactly! I didn't knew something like that existed until just now. Makes me want to get one of those as it would be great for my Galaxy X

Seeing how DHCs get a slower rate of fire than Cannons, more damage and 1/4 of their arc, DHT should get a slower rate of fire (I guess the heavy turrets' rate of fire fits), more damage and a 90 degree arc.
Not sure that's something I'd want.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
lol?? they are called "turrets" for something, and that is because they are 360º. You cant make a turret and rip away that feature lol.
In the end every ship will be loaded with 360 weapons lol, its only a matter of time. But as a DHcs and escort user i really NEED heavy turrets, most of the times i feel really ashamed and ridiculous having 2 little turrets in my back... lol.
Well, I was simply following a pattern.
And I don't see why one would be ashamed of regular turrets. Their faster rate of fire and all around reach serves as a CIWS (close in weapons system). Destroying small but dangerous targets (IE targetable torps).

The 1 is for unique items usually, as for the already existing single heavy turret, it is no better than a regular turret due to its mods, base dmg/shot cycle=same as a regualr turret base dmg/shot cycle.
In other words, the single heavy turret does 2xBDV of a regular turret but, has 1/2 the shot cycle of a regular turret and, has no better mods than any other turret!
So, it is basically a flop IMO.
The idea behind a dual turret, is to give you even high BDV than the current heavy turret, while shot cycle (2-4) would have to be determined!
This way, you are actually getting a worthwhile heavy turret!!!

Oh wait, so you wanna make something clearly better than current turrets? And the only limiting factor being the '1 per ship'?
Then I'm absolutely against this. Pure powercreep.

Because they are the worst weapons of the game?? because unless you have em as a support for other weapons they are completely useless?
Destroying torps? sure, but only sometimes. Im tired of trying to destroy torps in the undine battlezone and turrets usually dont do that 90% of the times lol. Unless you start firing at em at 9km distance lol.
THough to me before we start adding more turrets to the game we should try an re-balance the cannon catagory, making reg cannons an even dual cannons more worthwhile to use on ships that can not use dhc, such as like on a more tactical sci fo cruiser vessel. We could also use having beam-variant of the turrets that is not limited to one per vessal restriction to make using a fully forward oriented beam-build doable without using turrets on a cruiser or sci ship with 4/3 or 4/4 fore/aft weapon set up.
Yes, because this would totally blow a omni beam array, right out of the water right?

Well, you are really wrong here, dear.
If you think dealing almost 1000k damage with a turret is the same as "regular" turrets.. i dunno wat to say. And mods desnt mean anything when we talk about damage output. I deal more damage with my heavy turret than with 3 normal ones at the same time... and rapid cannon feels like a cannon, not a turret lol.
I dont care about numbers, i only know that watching my heavy turret working is like watching my DHCs.
If i ever want other heavy turrets, i will amazingly glad they are like the actualy disruptor/phaser heavy biomolecular one. They perform amazingly well, despite what you apparently say.
